Chestnut Mountain ski area, Illinois

I learned to ski at Chestnut Mountain, it's really good to go and learn at a local place like this before you go to the Rockies, so you don't waste time on the bunny slope over there. says Lisa Taylor.

The 475 foot height difference is unsurprisingly not that much to boast about, but Chestnut Mountain compensates for it in other ways. This ski mountain has a somewhat small set of trails and a rather small quantity of ski lifts. All 4 good ski lifts at this ski hill are capably looked after and run by welcoming

    folks. No other ski resort for 77 miles has a more soaring height difference. This ski hill has 139 acres of skiing territory, and all of it makes for magnificent skiing. This ski resort has 17 trails, and they are pretty. The yearly snowfall of 4 feet is pretty
ok for a ski resort like this one. Chestnut Mountain has a much lower than average proportion of hard slopes and a much higher than average fraction of blue and green trails.
